The Luoshui River valley in the northeast direction of Yiyang Jiuqu City is a series of forts such as Yang Zhishu and Baijiashu, Jiuqu City was occupied by the Western Wei Dynasty during the rebellion of Hou Jing in the old years, in order to protect the safety of Heluo, resist the Wei army rushing out from Nankun Road and the righteous army of western Henan who were active in Guannan, Xin'an and other places, Hu Lujin, who was in charge of the Heluo military at that time, built this series of forts in Yiyang.

After the Battle of Bishan, the Wei army retreated to Jiuqu City, and as a result, there was a major rout, so the Northern Qi army took Jiuqu City and handed it over to Sima Dugu Yongye in Luozhou to garrison.

After the important fortress of Jiuqu City was acquired, the importance of the original series of forts was naturally greatly reduced. As the army continued to pursue the Wei army westward, in order to ensure that there were enough men and horses in Jiuqu City to garrison, Dugu Yongye concentrated all the soldiers of the fort in Jiuqu City.

Therefore, when the Wei army Gao Le came to blockade the Luoshui River Valley on the order of the King of Taiyuan, he naturally entered these forts. Dugu Yongye did not know the reality of the enemy, and he did not attack at the first time for the sake of safety.

Gao Le also seized this gap and built a lot of sand embankments along the Luoshui River valley according to the method that the king of Taiyuan had sent to teach.

Of course, the Luoshui River valley is more than ten miles wide in some places, and the river itself has been frozen for free, so it is difficult to completely block it with the sand bank, but the uneven superposition can also cause great trouble to the enemy's most advance.

After that, Gao Le's men and horses relied on these sand banks to defend the Luoshui River Valley, during which the enemy launched several attacks with the intention of destroying these sand banks, but they were all repulsed because they were not too large.

However, as time passed, especially after it was determined that Kim Yong Cheng had been besieged by Li Boshan's army, the intensity of the battle on the Jiuqu side increased, and the intensity of the battle between the two sides also increased day by day.

Although Gao Le's troops were from afar, because of the timely establishment of an effective defense line, coupled with the cooperation of many barbarian troops on this side, and the Western Wei people and horses who had fled to the mountains and wilderness of Guannan in Yiyang before they joined in one after another, their own strength also increased greatly, so they also relied on these defenses to fight with the Qi army.

In order to make it more convenient to attack Hongnong and even Tongguan in the future, many of the fortresses set up by the enemy army for supply and garrison along the way were also sent to destroy them respectively, so the arrival time in Jiuqu City was a little late.

Due to the orderly arrangement of the itinerary, Duan Shao's men and horses also got enough rest during the march, and after arriving in Jiuqu City, they were still full of morale, and they were not exhausted by the long-distance battle. And the physical maintenance and use of the soldiers is also the basic ability that a master general should have. Of course, Hu Luguang didn't understand this truth, but he cared about it and failed to keep his troops in the best condition.

Returning to Jiuqu City and seeing the tight and solid defense line arranged by the enemy, Duan Shao's heart sank, and whether the back road was smooth or not was not only related to whether he could rescue Kim Yong Cheng in time, but also related to whether his army could be successfully withdrawn to the country, so naturally there was no room for error.

Therefore, even if he arranged for the soldiers to attack the enemy's position, there was no major breakthrough in several battles, and after learning the solidity of these sand bank obstacles, Duan Shao also realized that it might be difficult to destroy the enemy's defense line overnight, so he formulated a tired enemy tactic, relying on his own strong strength far superior to the opponent's strength, divided the army into more than a dozen teams, and launched a fierce attack on the enemy position day and night.

This method of warfare quickly played an effect, no matter how tenacious the fighting spirit of the Western Wei soldiers was, they were only flesh and blood after all, and as the defensive side in this high-intensity positional offensive and defensive battle, they themselves needed to invest more combat power to meet the battle preparations, so that the consumption of morale was more serious.

The armies of the Northern Qi side can take turns to attack, and after fighting for a while, they will retreat and replace with another team, and when it is their turn to play again, it has already been more than ten hours of rest, and naturally the men and horses are energetic and can fight tirelessly.

As a result, the tug-of-war between the two sides, under the command of Duan Shao, suddenly became the Qi army advancing and the Wei army retreating, and all the Wei army on the weaker side could do was to fight

and retreat, the large consumption of physical strength and energy of men and horses makes it difficult for them to stick to a certain layer of battle and fight to the death.

Under this tactic, in just a few days, the Northern Qi army advanced for more than several miles, breaking through the enemy's sand bank defense line layer by layer, and the forts hidden behind the sand bank were also broken one by one. Fortunately, thanks to the diligence of the Wei army before, coupled with the ease of obtaining materials from the water and sand along the Luoshui River, there were enough sand embankments to build a defensive line, so that the front line had not completely collapsed, but it was already precarious.

"Against Mo Fei Pilang? The old Emperor Taizu appreciated Pi Lang very much, but Pi Lang was caught in the thieves and used by the thieves, and today the battle is poor, why not kill the thieves to surrender?"

To the south of the battle line, there was a Qi military commander commanding the soldiers to launch an uninterrupted attack on the opponent, and at the same time shouting to the enemy general who was struggling to persuade him to surrender.

Pi Jinghe's hand has been cut out of many gaps in the bowstring, but in the face of the surging opponent soldiers still struggling to control the strings and resist, he naturally has no mood to pay attention to the ridicule of the opposing generals, but just loudly encourages the surrounding soldiers: "Hold on, hold on for a while!" The king will soon come to the aid of his army, and he will surely be able to defeat the army of thieves!"

The rest of the soldiers also gritted their teeth and fought, resisting day and night for days and nights, and many of the soldiers had bloodshot eyes almost in series, and at a glance they looked like bloody eyes, completely maintaining them with a strong will.

However, no matter how strong the will is, it can't fight the reality after all, with a series of loud sounds, the sand bank defense line was cut through by the enemy, and then the enemy soldiers rushed up and rushed towards the enemy formation that was already completely uncovered. Many of the soldiers were unable to retreat and were directly killed on the ground.

A number of Feng and other soldiers in the rear had just withdrawn and had not finished eating, and when they saw this, they hurriedly threw down their hands to eat, and once again held guns and spears in front of the rescue. However, even if they joined, they could not stop the defeat of the front, and they could only retreat behind another sand bank, and use this relatively strong sand bank to intercept the enemy army and take a moment of respite.

In the evening, the hundred guards next to Luoshui were surrounded by the Qi army, as long as this fort was captured again, the few unsupported sand banks on the back road would no longer be able to become strong, and the army could go straight to Baiting.

Therefore, the whole Qi army was also excited, and Duan Shao personally came to the fort to supervise the battle, and threw in several teams of men and horses in one go, preparing to capture the fort in front of him and then return to the camp to eat.

Things have come to this point, if there is no accident, it must be an accident. Just as the Qi army was still struggling to attack the city, there were galloping horses galloping from the side of the battlefield, and the horn of a strong enemy was sounded from afar.

After hearing the sound of the horn, Duan Shao couldn't help but sink his heart, and even led a group of elite horsemen to the north to cruise and watch, when he bypassed an unguarded sand bank, he saw that there were banners hunting in the north, coming south, and the sound of galloping horses' hooves shook the snow on the ground.

"No, could it be that Kim Yong City has been lost?"

Duan Shao watched the battle of the men and horses, his face changed suddenly, and he was busy and rode back to the front of the hundred guards, and immediately collected the troops while the men and horses were still not in turmoil, and lined up on the side of the hundred guards.

Soon the army from the south appeared in the field of vision, and the first thing that caught the eye was the marching Daxu and the guard of honor of the king of Taiyuan of Wei State, and when he saw the face of one of the knights at the head of the line, Duan Shao's face sank again, and the young man with a sad face was Gao Rui, the king of Zhaojun!

Seeing this scene, Duan Shao had no luck in his heart, waved his hand and ordered his troops to retreat slowly, retreating to the temporary camp while the enemy had not yet arrived in front, and ordered his troops to dig ice and water to build a sand embankment to strengthen the camp defense according to the method of the Wei army. He did not know what the situation of the battle in the north was, and he did not dare to fight for the time being.

As Li Tai led the army to force back the Qi army, the soldiers who retreated to the hundred guards also cheered to welcome them, including several generals who were wounded and supported by the soldiers, and bowed to Li Tai and said, "The last general is fortunate to have lived up to the king's orders!"

Li Tai looked at the emaciated soldiers, and knew that they had suffered a lot during this time, so he turned over and dismounted and stepped forward to help the generals up one by one, patted them on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Jun is equivalent to the hard work of resisting the enemy, so that I can kill the enemy in the north freely, the enemy army is defeated, and this time it is another shock

The work of China!"

All the soldiers were also proud after hearing this, although the previous battle can be described as hard, but the taste of victory is also particularly sweet. Although there is still a thief army on the southern road that has not yet been broken, the king of Taiyuan has already led his troops to fight here, and it is only a matter of time before the thief army in front of him is defeated, and all the soldiers are full of confidence in this!
